Kim Hyun Joong to focus on ‘City Conquest’ after concluding overseas activities



It was revealed that actor and singer Kim Hyun Joong will now be focusing on filming for his upcoming drama ‘City Conquest’ after concluding his overseas activities. Kim Hyun Joong had been invited to perform at the East Japan Charity Concert which was part of the 2012 Jingu Gaien Fireworks Festival in Tokyo on August 10th. 

He had the honour of closing the concert and it also marked the end of his 7 months of overseas activities. After releasing his ‘Kiss Kiss’ and ‘Lucky Guy’ singles earlier this year in Japan, Kim Hyun Joong concentrated his efforts on overseas activities and strived hard to interact with his overseas fans. Starting from last May, Kim Hyun Joong has simultaneously held his ‘Kim Hyun Joong Fan Meeting Tour 2012’ in countries like Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China and Thailand, numbering 8 cities in five countries. 

His fan meeting was pretty special compared to usual ones as he would perform 15 years and have all sorts of interesting segments, to leave fans with unforgettable memories. In addition, his recent 2nd Japanese single album ‘HEAT’ which was released just last month, hit the top spot on the Oricon daily and monthly charts, and has now sold around 200,000 copies. He will be showing fans a more masculine and tough guy image through his upcoming drama ‘City Conquest’ which will air sometime in September through cable channel TV Joseon.

Kim Hyun Joong is Working Out for ‘City Conquest’


Kim Hyun Joong is busy trying to get fit for his upcoming drama City Conquest.

The actor talked about his preparations for City Conquest in an interview with the Japanese magazine Josei Jisin on July 10.
City Conquest is a drama based on the manga of the same title by cartoonist Shin Hyung Bin. The drama cast Kim Hyun Joong as its main lead Mir.

The drama will be his first action peace. Kim Hyun Joong said, “I attended action school because I wanted to show a lot of my new self to my fans and viewers.”

He added, “I’m trying to lose the fat and pump up my muscle through exercise and a diet. My weight hasn’t changed much, but my body fat has decreased to seven percent.” The average percentage of body fat for males is 15-20 percent, meaning that Kim Hyung Joong has only half or one-third of the average amount of body fat.

City Conquest will be taking Kim Hyun Joong, Kim Seung Woo, Jung Yu Mi and Nam Gung Min to Japan for about two weeks for a shoot on July 10.
